Erica sighed as she walked out into the night air. Sure it wasn't that cold but she wrapped her arms around herself. It made her feel safer. She brushed some hair out of her face and then sighed and pulled her coat tighter around her. Erica really didn't want to go to work tonight, but she didn't want to depend on Nate for everything she need, so this is what she had to do.
As she walked into the Cat's Meow she saw a couple of friends she had made there wave to her. A soft smile came to her face and she waved back while walking to the dressing rooms. She knew that she wasn't welcome in this part of town, but some didn't know she was apart of another gang and some knew but didn't care. If she showed her body then it was all okay.
As Erica finished getting dressed she pulled the pony tail out of her hair and then took a deep breath and waited for her turn to go on stage. She knew that Nate would be there tonight. So it made her smile a bit. But that smile turned into a flirty one when she heard the stage manger say it was time to go onstage. Oh well she had to make the best out of here time there.

NATHANIEL ANTHONY GUNDERSON
Nate began to make his way towards the Cat's Meow. Tonight he was hearing dark blue jeans with a button down white shirt, not tucked in. To match, he had a tie on, though it wasn't put on particulrly neatly. He knew this was where Erica would be tonight. He always liked seeing her dance. Not because she looked hot, which she did, but because he was there supporting her. And to protect her from those guys that would get too far out of hand.
As he entered the club, several good looking women winked at him and waved, but he merely nodded his head and made his way towards a table in the back. He sat down, and as someone came to him asking him if he wanted anything to drink. He nodded and requested a water, before turning his eyes back to the stage. One girl had just finished dancing, and he knew that soon his own girl would come out. A slight smile played on his face at the thought, and he had a feeling she would be very happy that he was here.

Erica smiled that smile that had all the men looking at her. She walked out on the stage and then heard some of the men calling at her and reaching out to her. Erica got close to some of them and moved her body and then back away a bit slowly. To be truthful she didn't want every man's hand on her while she had to do her job. So she did what she had to do and then left work when her time there was over. Erica blew a kiss at one and then looked around the joint.
When he eyes landed on Nate she smiled a bit. But kept looking at him for a moment. It was much better then looking at the other guys around this place. She just closed her eyes and got lost in her own world. When Erica's time was up she walked backstage and then wrapped her arms around herself walking to the bar, and watching her friend do her dance.

As Erica came out, Nate smiled. She always looked so beuatiful. He couldn't help but to feel a bit defensive as the men reached up for her, but this was, of course, her job. He would have to endure for the few minutes that her dance took up. His eyes were trained on her the whole time, and when she finally gave him a small smile, he returned it, glad that she had seen him. As he was brought his water, he took a half hearted sip, and didn't really pay attention to the girl who had brought him the water. She was being flirtacious, but he wasn't here for anyone else.
As Erica finished her dance, she headed down to teh bar, and Nate stood up, and walked towards the bar, trying not to look like his goal was her, even though it was. As he walked up to her, he slid one arm around her shoulders and kissed her lightly on the cheek. "You looked beautiful." He said softly, and followed her eyes to where her friend was doing her own dance. A few moments of silence ensued before he spoke again. "How've you been? I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever."

Erica felt someone wrapped their arms around her shoulder and she looked up seeing Nate. She smiled a soft smile and then hugged him lightly and then shrugged her shoulders "I've been okay, just a little tired." She leaned her head against his shoulder a bit and then looked at her friend again seeing how rough the guys were with her. Erica was just glad that they weren't like that with her.
But then again, if they were, nobody could do anything about it because it was her job. Erica pulled her dress down a little bit seeing someone looking at her legs, but doing that just seemed to make her dress go up higher. As Erica heard what Nate said next she smiled a bit "I just saw you this morning" But she could understand him feeling like that, she felt like that most of the time too. |

At her response, he smiled. "Well, that's good." As the men seemed particularly 'forward' with the other girl performing, Nate couldn't help but to breathe a sigh of relief that they hadn't been like that with Erica. He would've probably started a fight, and then been kicked out. That, of course, would have only caused Erica some grief. But still. Her line of work often caused for him to feel over-protective and jealous.
As she tried to pull her dress down a little, Nate's eyes automatically found the person that had been examining her. His eyes automatically stared the man down, but he quickly averted them before the man noticed. He didn't want her to get in trouble with any of her superiors because of him. He wasn't even sure if he was allowed to be here.
As she spoke agian, he smiled and laughed a little. "Well, it's been too long since this morning, then." He smiled at her for a moment before brining up another topic. "What would you say.. If I told you that I am near being promoted. And that you wouldn't have to do this anymore." Of course, it would still be several months before he was promoted, but he couldn't hardly wiat. He wanted to make sure that she would always be secure.

Erica let her eyes wander up to him and she raised her eyes brows. She knew that Nate knew she didn't want to depend on him for eveything. It was sad because her she was smart, and she had the looks. But when you lived in a city like they lived in you wouldn't get very far, unless you had the money or the right stuff. Erica looked at the stage for a moment and then thought about her past life but she shivered a bit and then looked back up at Nate.
"I would say that....that's awesome." She smiled at him and then said "But, I don't want to have to depend on you for everything Nathan. You know I love you...but I should be independent too." Erica looked down at her hands after she had said this, she was happy for him...but she didn't want to do this anymore either. But on the other hand she was raised not to have to depend on anyone. What was a girl to do?

NAte sighed as he heard her response, but as she looked down at her hands, he immediately felt bad. He knew she wanted to be independent, but what else was she going to do here? Any good schools were too far away, and the schools in town were so bad that even if you graduated, you wouldn't get a decent job anywhere.
He bit his lip for a moment as he tried to figure out what to say, as he didn't want to make her feel bad. He paused for a second before saying, "Look, don't even worry about it. I'm not anywhere close yet, and we'll cross that bridge when we get to it?" He paused again for a moment before saying, "...Okay?" He ran a nervous hand through his hair, then looped one of his fingers through his belt loop and let his hand hang there.

Erica smiled again and then nodded "Kay." She said and then looked up at him for a moment. She looked down at his hand and then she grabbed it and held it in hers. Erica didn't know what she'd do without Nate sometimes. And she hoped she'd never have to find out either. She sighed as she had to do another job. He boss waved a hand to her and then she nodded rolling her eyes. Erica looked up at Nate "I'll be back in a few minutes, alright?" After she said that she went backstage. And saw some other girls there.
Erica really disliked when men paid for private shows with them. She shook her head and then did what she had to do and walked back over to Nate when she was done dancing backstage. Erica picked up his hand back up and looked back stage for a moment and then back up at Nate.

Nate smiled as she held his hand in hers, and only frowned when he saw her boss waving her backstage. As she released his hand, he watched her go, a slight frown placed upon his face. He felt the urge to pound in the face of the guy that dared to pay for Erica like she was something to be bought, but he resisted. He knew he coulnd't risk Erica's job, nor could he risk being kciked out of the club. Plus, it would go around quickly that Erica had an overprotective boyfriend, and people would quickly stop paying. While Nate wouldn't really mind this so much, he knew Erica would. And so would her boss. So, instead he clenched a fist, and blinked for a moment, trying no to think about it as much.
After what seemed like an eternity for him, Erica reapperaed and took his hand once again, and he relaxed. "It really ticks me off when guys do that." He muttered. He was more talking to himself than anything. It was just hard for him to stand by idly while he knew what was going on back stage.

Erica nodded and then said "Well, you know it's my job hun." She looked up at him as he said this. Erica knew how she felt and he didn't like that he felt that way, but I mean C'mon who wouldn't feel that way? So she just started to speak again "It annoy's me too sometimes....to be thought of as just a object that can be bought." Truthfully she did feel like that, but it was nice to have Nate around. When she was with him she didn't feel like a object, she felt like a person.
"But, My job is done.....for tonight anyway." She looked over at Nate and then bit her lip "Um....can we stay a little while longer?" Erica asked and then looked over at her friend "She'll be here for a bit longer, and I don't want anything to happen to her....and plus she's younger then I am" It was so sad to see little girls doing this too.

Nate smiled. It always comforted him to know that she didn't like to do her job. Even though it meant constantly doin something she hated, as long as she didn't get any pleasure out of doing it, it worked for him. At her request, Nate nodded his head. "Of course." He didn't like that Erica had to do this for a living, and he didn't want to discomfort her by telling her that they couldn't stay. Of course he didn't mind staying. In fact, if anything bad happened, he would work it out so that the girl wouldn't get hurt. Whatever it took to amke sure Erica was happy.
He couldn't help but to be a bit curious though. "How long do you think that she'll have to dance for? Does she plan on getting an education?" He knew that Erica would rather an education any day, and since the girl perfroming was so young, she might just be saving up for college. Then again, she could have no life plans.

Erica smiled a bit and then leaned her head on his shoulder again. "No, I don't think so" She started and then shook her head "It's really sad. I'm not gonna lie she's messed up like most around here....but she doesn't think she can get a education." When Erica said that she looked over at her younger friend and sighed "I just wonder sometimes, you know? She's so young and she could try to be someone but she doesn't want to"
Erica just wondered what was going on in that girls head. Here she was older then her friend and wanting to go to school and try to get some where. But the other girl could care less. If she had a chance to be someone she would take it "But that's just how she is I guess Nate." Erica said at last.

Nate nodded his head. He couldn't even imagine having to do stuff like that for one's whole life. Then again, it wouldn't even be her whole life. When you got too old, in a field like this, you just weren't even wanted anymore. He wanted desperately to change things. And the quickest way to do that, in his mind, at least, was to start a new gang.
He already knew of the two that roamed this town, Gem and Luxor. Gem, in his opinon, was a bit more laid back. However, that didn't stop him from being afraid of the gang leader, Liam. He knew that he was a force to be reckoned with. Well, he didn't really know from personal experience. He had just heard these things.
Luxor, on the other hand, he didn't even want to get near. To be frank, that gang freaked him out. Aiden, he knew, would shoot someone who messed with him. He was already messing with Liam and his gang enough already.
For now, Nate was gonna lie low with his girlfriend, until things cooled down a bit. Then, the two would really start to make an apperance, and she wouldn't have to do this sort of stuff anymore.
He snapped back to reality in a few moments, and replied quietly, "Yea, it's a shame. I couldn't ever imagine doing something like this."

Erica saw the look in her boyfriend's eyes and then she raised a eye brow, then looked at him for a long moment. She nodded and then watched as her friend got off the stage "Yeah, it is a shame." Then she reilized what Nate said "Hun, you can't do that, your a boy. Unless....well you can it's just called a different thing." Erica shrugged as she said this and then asked "You wanna go some where else? All these men looking at me is starting to creep me out a little bit."
Erica looked around and then grabbed her jacket from a chair next to her. No way in hell was she going home or even outside dressed like that. The way Erica looked at it was, when she was at her job she would dress like what she had to do. And when she had to go outside, and into public she would dress like she wanted to.
